Chapter 1605 Setting The Battlefield.

Her announcement made everyone remember that they were in a dangerous situation called the era of conquest. A loss in it means that they can forget about becoming world gods. They forgot because it really hadn't felt dangerous until now.

This was the final blow that made the clones regain peace. Every Origin god wanted to get some contribution points. Even if they don't manage to secure the realm lord's assistance, they can use their contribution points to buy a lot of things.

Things like Life Crystals and the Authority of the Celestial Supreme, which can be used as substitutes for the world seed and world engine, can be bought. They will become weak world gods if they use this, but it is a step in the right direction. Besides, they can upgrade their world in the future. So everyone within the High Heaven realm began to prepare for the upcoming fight. Apparently, the realm lord succeeded in stopping the enemy from reinforcing the Tyrant Realm, but he can't stop them from attacking the High Heaven realm.

By the looks of things, he didn't even bother to stop them from invading the high heaven realm. He didn't attempt to create a blockade around the High Heaven Realm at all, so enemies could come in for a fight. Some people spoke about the madness of it. Common sense dictates that he should have done the opposite. Many people would have chosen to turn the high heaven realm into an unbreakable shell since he had the means to. But the realm lord's decision cannot be faulted since his move dictated the battlefield. The Tyrants can't access their realm directly, so they have to come to the High Heaven realm. If the realm lord is prepared for it, he might be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. The move can only be called unorthodox, but it has its advantages. For one, the High Heaven realm was able to make full use of Mother High Heaven's ability to notice the intrusion of Origin gods, who are not her children, into her realm. This way, the movements of the enemy can be tracked reliably since they are limited to the high heaven realm. This is why everyone was able to get accurate information about the invaders. She also created missions to hunt them for high contributions. This has succeeded in eliminating every spy sent into the realm. So the enemies have decided to go all out.

They have become especially desperate after hearing of the absolute destruction of the divine plane of the Tyrant realm. After all, if their enemies can enter their realm anyhow, they have to do something equally destructive too, or they will lose the war. They didn't even hide their movements. Hundreds of billions of origin gods approached the High Heaven Realm together from the immortal lands. Less than a billion of them are true tyrants. The rest are their army of undead and hosts created with their concepts. The Tyrants are few in number. This is because, despite their subjugation of the whole realm, competition is fierce amongst them. Very few of them grow enough to become immortals, and the ones that do don't want to leave the realm, so they remain sovereigns of law. Mother High Heaven advised her children, "Stay in the divine plane! Don't confront them in the void!" This is because the Origin god army is accompanied by more than one world god. Any kind of resistance against them will fail because of the support of these world gods. Not unless the realm lord is willing to split his resources and fight them in the void. They have to wait for the enemies to enter the realm. That way, the Tyrants will lose the support of their world gods. They will also be suppressed by the realm and lose the support of their world fragments. This is the second advantage of setting the battlefield. The realm lord was able to choose a location that was advantageous to him. The only disadvantage is that the battle will cause destruction to the realm, which will weaken it. This cannot be avoided, even if the fight is limited to the divine plane. Energy will still need to be expended to heal the damage and keep the plane intact. But it is still better than allowing world gods to interfere in the battle.

If that were to happen, the high heaven realm would not be able to take advantage of its higher number of Origin gods. That is the third advantage of deciding the battlefield. So Mother High Heaven warned the Origin gods to remain in the divine plane. The clones of Legion also went there to prepare for the battle. The divine plane has a gate of heaven, but that's only for defenders. People who are born in a realm don't need it to gain access to the divine plane. Especially since they are allowed to move through the white landmass of the divine plane by the Will of the plane. So the clones didn't need to pass through the gate of heaven to reach the divine plane. They simply flew right up.

They found other Origin gods there. No one disturbed them at all. Everyone was busy preparing for the fight.

The clones decided to spread themselves throughout the divine plane to maximize their area of activity instead of working together and risking drawing too much attention to themselves. Unlike the Tyrant Realm, the gods are present in the divine plane, and they are many in number too. The divine realm is being invaded, so they too are getting ready for the invasion. After all, it is their opportunity to make contributions to the plane. The participation of the gods in the battle is the fourth advantage gained from setting the battlefield. It is something the realm lord didn't have to put in much effort to ensure.

The gods don't need a coalition to motivate them to defend the divine plane like the demons. The fact that they too can use the contribution points they earn in its defense is all the motivation they need. ------
